    I have some HILARIOUS pictures when my daughters cats met my torts. Must find them. My last Pom- what with being raised basically as a furred tortoise.. he really thought he liked vegetables. His fav was Okra. That dog would do about anything for Okra. We were visiting a daughter in :LA and I...

    Hi... Lifetime turtle/tortoise lover. The past 20 years I've pretty much settled on strictly torts. I have a breeding pair of pancakes. I'm very casual about the egg thing.. I used to stress and incubate, research, freak out. And i would lose eggs and babies for no reason. My female doesn't...

    My 2 Egyptian Tortoise

    Agreed. They are great! What kind of weight gain are you seeing? I have 3 babies... And in 3 months.. They all gained the same weight percentage. I'm positive i have one male, one female and the last one is probably female. John nailed it!!! Lol.

I never see my adults do that unless i have a female looking for just the right spot to lay an egg. I. Have one female pancake...
